max you can have 2 people playing and 7 people watching at a pool table. maybe you should ask how i got that instead of accusing me of not tell the truth
This thread was about POKER games, not POOL games...and even with smart explorer I seriously doubt you can open NINE different windows (using different javas for each) along with NINE different Pogo account names (if you even have that many) using only 196mb of RAM...I STILL think you are not telling the truth, this time and almost every time you post. >:(
maybe you should look into smart explorer it uses 1 java for all windows and you can load as many names as you want and yes max i have more then 9 names i have about 25. 1 club though

Well, it has to do with a number of factors.  This is one of those instances where everyone is correct, depending on what other demands your computer has....

If all you have to worry about is IE and Pogo, perhaps 196 of RAM would do it.  I'm with Max there.  You need at least 256.   I,f like Ranger said, you can switch to Linux, that would be even better.  XP is a RAM hungry OS...  Most of us have more than that.

If you are on the verge of buying a new computer, I'd just get it over with.  Any new one will be able to handle the demands of Pogo.  However, If you are trying to squeak a few more weeks or months out of the old one, I'd try a combination of what Ranger and I have suggested.  And, of course you should clean up your hard drive, defrag and make sure you don't have anything starting up you don't need.  There's lots of advice out there if you need it..

with all due respect to Max cause i think he is great...but this is from Microsofts own site..what you need to run windows xp home edition....so you have enough RAM..

Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP Home Edition

128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

Windows XP requires 128mb of RAM + Pogo requires 128mb of RAM = 256mb RAM to work properly and 512mb RAM to insure no memory problems. You have to add RAM necessary to run BOTH your operating system AND running programs such as Pogo, etc.


very interesting seeing as i have only 160 mb of ram on my laptop and pogo and windows xp works fine........oh well........

I do just fine with 512.  But I'll likely go to a a gig here soon on the desktop.  Good luck with the new puter.

Thats why I suggest Lynix but I don't think it is supported here.  It only takes 8 mb of ram to run that if I am not mistaken.

Or if you look on the bottom right of your taskbar and see alot of stuff down there, all that stuff takes up RAM.  So if you don't need some of that stuff shut it off.

Pogo says they require 400mghz and 128k.  Between the two, I'd say you are hitting the wall.

My best advice in the meantime would be to see if you can free up some of your existing ram.  There are some nifty programs on dowload.com that might help.
